$0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LULA A. FEVER, a citize of United States, residingat Secor, in the coii nty of VVoodford, State of Illinois, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Sticky-Fly-Paper Trays; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has relation to a neat simple and useful tray adapted toremo ably hold and secure a sheet'of fly paper.

The object of my invention is to provide a neat and sightly deviceadapted to hold a sheet of fly paper so that the same may be placed atconvenient points either in a horizontal or vertical position.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown in Figure 1 a top view of atray embodying my invention while, Fig. 2 discloses a central sectionalview thereof.-

I In carrying out the aim of my invention I provide a-tray made of sheetmetal and in the form of a rectangular sheet or blank the four cornersof which are clipped oil as shown in dotted line at 2 in Fig. 1. The twosides B, B are bent over as are the two ends'D, D to form beveled-edgesas disclosed in Fig. 2.

This can be nicely accomplished because of the clipped corners whichpermit the desired formation.- This tray or receptacle is made of aproper size so as to nicely receive a sheet of sticky fly paper.

In Fig. 1, I have shown in dotted outline at E the position of a sheetof stickyfiy paperE as held and positioned within the tray A. 7

At each end the tray is provided with a coil spring ()the ends of whichare hooked Within suitable openings m, within the sides B of the tray asdisclosed in Fig. 1 so that these springs exert a yielding pressurepuponthe tray bottom to removably secure the fly paper in a spring-heldcondition.

The springs C, (7 are so positioned that when the fly paper has beenproperly inserted within the tray the springs will rest upon theuncovered border ends of the fly paper so that these springs will notbecome soiled in coming in contact with the sticky preparation upon thelly paper.

By these means I provide a neat sightly and eflicient device that an becarried about and placed in any desired position with a view of catchingthe flies and Having thus described my said invention what I claim asnow and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is A sheetmetaltray having its ends and sides bent over to form a beveled edged holderof the character described, and two coil springs extending across saidtray from edge to edge. one at each end, each spring being; in yieldiiu:contact with the bottom of said tray.

In testimony whereof, I allix my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.

LULA A. FEVER.
